Hardware for hazardous areas
08 June 2017
The new ELX series EtherCAT terminals with intrinsically safe inputs/outputs and highly compact design enable direct connection of field devices located in hazardous areas – classified Zones 0, 1 and 2.

PC-based control from Beckhoff now seamlessly combines automation and process technology, including all the benefits of integrated and comprehensive diagnostics from the EtherCAT system.
Beckhoff Automation will be showing these at this year’s Manufacturing and Engineering North East, where some of its engineers will be happy to explain more about the company's capabilities. It also provides a chance to talk about any support you might need with upcoming or ongoing projects.
On show will be the company's newly launched hardware for hazardous area and process applications as well as: its XTS linear transport system; ultra compact IPC; and AX8000 high performance, multi-axis servo system. Stand D31
